King's Business - 1954-03

you did two years’ time at Caesarea and was imprisoned at Rome. You made so much trouble for the businessmen at Ephesus that they re- wr to you as, “ the man who turned •1:•' world upside down.” Sensational- ism, in missions is uncalled for. We also deplore the lurid over-the-wall- in-a-basket episode at Damascus. We are appalled at your obvious lack of conciliatory behavior. Diplo- matic men are not stoned and dragged out of the city gate, or assaulted by furious mobs. Have you ever sus- pected that gentler words might gain you more friends? I enclose a copy of Daius Camegus’ book, How to W in Jews and Influence Greeks. You have caused much trouble everywhere you have gone. You op- posed the honorable Greek women at Berea and the leaders of your own nationality in Jerusalem. If a man cannot get along with his own peo­ ple, how can he serve foreigners? You admit that while you were serving time at Rome, that “ all forsook” you. Good men are not left friendless. You have written many letters to churches where you have formerly been pastor. In one of these letters you accused a church member of living with his father’s wife, and you caused the whole church to feel bad- ly; and the poor fellow was expelled. Your ministry has been far too flighty to be successful. First Asia Minor, then Macedonia, then Greece, then Italy and now you are talking about a wild-goose chase to Spain. Concentration is more important than dissipation of one’s powers. You can- not win the whole world by yourself. You are just one little Paul. Dr. Luke reports that you are a ■ jj thin little man, bald, frequently sick g and ' always so agitated over your jj churches that you sleep very poorly. g He reports that you pad around the g house praying half the night. A g healthy mind in a robust body is our gg ideal for all applicants. We find it best to send only mar- jj ried men into foreign service. We g deplore your policy of persistent celi- g bacy. Simon Magus has set up a g matrimonial bureau at Samaria, g where the names of some very fine g widows are available. It hurts me to tell you this, Brother g Paul, but in all of my 25 years of experience, I have never met a man g so opposite to the requirements of our J j j Foreign Mission Board. If we accept- g ed you, we would break every rule nf modem, missionary practice. Most sincerely yours, B J. Flavius Fluffyhead ' g Foreign Mission Board Secretary g g g jj g jj g jj g jj jj g g g g g g g jj g g g g jj g g jj

C H I L D ? IF YOU SAW THIS CHILD, would you pick him up and save W$mm him as Bill Asbury, CCF repre­ sentative, did in Korea a few weeks ago? We are sure you would not “ pass by on the other side” to leave him die. He is now in a CCF orphanage being decently cared for. He is there with other children—children like the baby whose mother brought him to the superintendent, saying she could not find work and could not care for her baby. The baby was ac­ cepted and the mother started away and then fell. When the superin­ tendent reached her, she was dead —of starvation. Some CCF orph­ anage children were pulled apart from the arms of their mothers— the children just faintly alive, their mothers dead. Bill Asbury is making no com­ plaint about the dirt and discomfort connected with his job or even about the vermin, far more alive on such a child than the child him­ self. But he is heavy hearted over the many children he can’t save for lack of funds. He will be glad, if you wish, to pick up a starving boy or girl for you and place him or her in one of the 42 Korean orphanages in which CCF assists children. The cost in Korea and in all countries where CCF operates is ten dollars a month and you will receive your child’s name, address, story and picture. You can correspond with your child. Children can be “adopted” in CCF orphanages around the world; in the following countries: Borneo, Brazil, Burma, Would t j ( H b s a v e t h i s

Finland, Formosa, Hong Kong, India, Indochina, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Lapland, Lebanon, Malaya, Mexico, Okinawa, Pakistan, Philippines, Puerto Rico, United States and Western Germany. “And the Lord took little children into His arms and blessed them.” 20,000 Americans have done likewise by “ adopting” children through CCF. Gifts of any 'amount are welcome. For information write: Dr. J. Calvitt Clarke CHRISTIAN CHILDREN’ S FUND, INC.
